Summary
This lesson gives you a tour of the entire interface of Excel: Name Box, Formula Bar, Ribbon, Sheet tab, and Status Bar. By recognizing each area, you know where to look at the cell address, where to write the formula, and where to read the data summary. This understanding of layout speeds up the work because you don't have to be blindly looking for commands.
Key points
- The name box displays the active cell address and can be used to jump into a particular cell
- The Formula Bar displays the original contents of the cell, including the formula for its length
- Sheet tabs are at the bottom to move between sheets
- The status bar displays summaries such as Average, Count, and Sum when the cell is selected
- The fill handle is a small dot in the lower right corner of the active cell
